I think the funniest reaction to me was that this trans woman tried to say I was the opposite of her and I assured her that I am not a trans man but the mental gymnastics these folks go through to be a bigot is pretty impressively silly in a horrifying way
I’m not even sure I notice when folks block me lol
But yea, that would feel weird to me
Follow up question: are the supposed non-binary folks who say you “don’t need HRT” even real? I assume they must be, since every group has its jerks, but I’ve yet to actually meet one of these people and mostly assume they are strawthems to excuse bigotry, but if they’re real, I want a blocklist
also is there a transmedicalist and/or a pick-me trans blocklist? Like I would hate to accidentally give any time to bigots at all, even if they are from within my community. If I hear any anti non-binary talk I’m done with folks.
I’m so so sorry you went through that, yea, that is a very different (and very understandable) scenario. For me my blocks were all either individual or driven by blocklists.
I’m not sure I did chain blocks, what are those?
I have such a bad memory, I just do my best to remember I probably had it right the first time and I’d rather be more safe than less safe.
If someone was a mutual and went out of their way to explain there was a misunderstanding I’d maybe change my mind, but I’ve had to learn to trust my past self
….. I am just so tired of bigots, gatekeeping, and weird folks who try to make pain a competition. Immediate block and bridge burn at this point.
I DO like the phrase transexual though. It’s opt in. It explains itself without feeling gatekeepy. I was worried it was throwing a bone to the transmedicalist crowd but then I remembered I don’t have to GAF about creepy bigots
So yea, I’m a transexual
I’m also transgender
Not a competition
On a related note, even past their creepy gatekeeping, I’ve not yet met a transmedicalist who isn’t a bigot
It is always, in my experience, an excuse to hate one anyone GNC
Also eff the “trans folks MUST have dysphora to be trans” crowd, but I assume those are mostly transmedicalists
I considered briefly dropping the “they” from my label due to this interaction. And then I remembered that bigots can go fuck themselves.
Even if they are trans, these are folks who want to force others back into the closet.
Even if I’m only mildly genderqueer or whatever, eff that. I won’t hid me
I’m all woman
And also genderqueer
That doesn’t make me less of a woman
I’ve had some trans folks tell me I’m not actually a trans woman because I’m also genderqueer. Bigots who are trans are still bigots. Treat them accordingly imho and burn that bridge.

I mean, they can do it if they feel it is the only way to get past it. I’m sure they’ve tried all sorts of things and self help books right?
Disney hates queer people and has been cozying up to fascism and AI slop (but I repeat myself) for years and now they're trying to make you pay to see the same movie extra times as homework before you pay to see another movie please love yourself enough move on from them
let's ask them if they're going to get "the surgery"
"you know,,, The Surgery?"
I’m going to start pretending there’s a surgery you can get to remove the bigotry
What are some queer af art posters you’d recommend. No AI obviously.
I don’t mean artists who are queer, I mean queer artists drawing the queerest art such that the tablet I’m typing on has an increase in cpu load just trying to contain the rainbows
I’m not sure how to come back here. I really want to. But ya’ll are responsible and actually share the news. It is such an important thing. But I’m also at such a burnout point. I am so sorry if I unfollow some amazing folks, but I need more art in my feed.
This made my morning
It just fills me with glee
This art makes me do a tism
I get happy in ways I don’t expect
And I like to bounce and rock
And I had no idea how much I wanted to see it before I saw it!
A guy came to my table yesterday talking about how there should be a reboot of SGC2C. I told him that I was the only voice actor left from the original show.
Then the guy pissed me off, but I held my tongue for a bit to hear him out.
He suggested replacing George and Clay with AI.

Robert Reich saying "I liked RFK back when he sounded more like me" should prompt more self-reflection than it probably will.
I kind of miss giant controllers. You would play the original Xbox and it was like driving a forklift. Your grandparents would see the N64 controller and immediately know it was witchcraft that they should not come near.
I felt the need to apologize on behalf of all men since I was like 12, but uhhh turns out I wasn’t one so yea
No one asked me to do that, I just was around them a bit and felt the need to go “I’m so sorry I am not with them”

Exactly one year ago today:
Remember when DHS agents had no choice but to shoot two Venezuelan men because the men had attacked them with a snow shovel and a broomstick?
New video shows they were lying about that one, too.

This is probably going to be the biggest national turnout in your country in its history.
Watch it live.
I'm a foreigner, and its kinda nice to see your people being cool.
The music is banging.
People tend to assume my work in helping people learn how to make games is for industry careers
But for 20 years most people I've helped make games haven't mainly been seeking jobs doing it
Freeware game development is valid and worthwhile as a way to learn a variety of skills and enrich our lives
“I sexually identify as a conscious object”
Me, raising eyebrow, looks more closely
“Conscientious objector”
Honestly both true lol
